We give our staff 1% of all we earn on top of salary and bonus. It's just 1 cent in every Euro we receive. It's not a big deal. I think large profitable corporates or multinationals are missing a trick by not doing similar. I'd switch bank/phone company if I knew they were doing this.

I’ve picked a couple of gigs so far - but still on the look out for more work. If anyone is looking for a colourist or Illustrator - see my portfolio here -> mjamesillustration.com

Elon Musk is taking power in DC with an “AI-first” strategy. JD Vance is telling Europe that America will dominate AI. Meta is on a record earnings tear with its AI pivot. The venture capitalist class is using AI to concentrate power like never before. Listen: www.buzzsprout.com/2425400/epis...

I wrote this on the most consistently terrible, and fatal, idea in centrist politics today. On Fanta, rebadging, and why attempting to win votes from fascists is morally disgusting and politically suicidal. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

HELLO! Migrating this account over from the dark place. My current plan is to alternate months between a previous jam and a new jam, starting off with pieces that were popular in the previous iteration to help spread the word and get new bsky color enthusiasts involved. I hope you'll join the fun!
